The SCRTD will be using federal funds to purchase three (3) battery electric replacement buses and electric charging infrastructure at the Sunland Park garage (295 Quinella Road) and staff training on the electric vehicle propulsion systems. The SCRTD will also use the funds to acquire the property that is currently leased.
